For Sale: 1984 Ferrari Berlinetta in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1984 Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer 512i

The Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer, (BB), is an automobile that was produced by Ferrari in Italy between 1973 and 1984. Replacing the front engined Ferrari Daytona, it was the first in a series of Ferraris to use a mid mounted flat 12 engine. The Boxer was designed by Leonardo Fioravanti and was the first mid engined road car to bear the Ferrari name and the Cavallino Rampante, (prancing horse), logo.

For consignment a 11,911 title verified actual mile1984 BB 512i. This example represents the penultimate late development Berlinetta Boxer. This final iteration of the venerable BB series is widely considered the easiest and most pleasurable to own and drive, benefitting from Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, replacing the triple choke Weber carburetors. This upgraded engine, dubbed 'Tipo F110A', offered not only more power, but greatly improved cold starting and drivability. With just over 1000 cars produced over four years, the 512BBi exemplifies 1980s iconic design and future collectability.

Exterior
All beautifully bathed in Corso Rosso this car exemplifies the mid 1980's design utilizing squares and rectangles, however for the low slung racer, it has a chiseled look. Starting from its front pinched grille and front bumper with the grille all below, and sporting a small front spoiler on the bottom, it has hidden head lighting and a "trunk" lid. This leads us to the severely raked back front screen and low door wide for easy access. A vertical rear glass and some flying buttresses frame on either side a litany of venting and are intakes for that mid engine. And it will be easy to wrench because literally the entire back of the car lifts up to reveal the 12 cylinder engine and rear suspension. The Scuderia round tail lights and a rectangular rear roll pan with some early aero screening and side mounted running lights are noted on the back bottom, (shades of an early diffuser?). Some sexy black Italian designed mirrors hang off of either side, and more black trimmings are surrounding the glass and rear venting as well as an encircling mid line just below the belt. 5 spoke 412mm wheels are wrapped in 240/55VR15 rubber from 1993 on all 4 corners. Think Lambo Countach with standard doors and the Cavallino Rampante badge and you have the BB for consignment.

Interior
A swing of these sexy low slung doors reveals plenty of black leather to sneak into with high back buckets that have split tuck and roll center panels and smooth bolsters along with a headrest for when you press the go pedal to the floor. The driver's seat shows some slight wear on the side bolster near the back adjuster. A black center console races through the seats, and has a side mounted separate gated shifter right next to the driver. Window, fan and temp sliders make top the remainder of the console leaving room on the square and rectangle dash for gauges the the sound system. This sporty car has AC! Above is a felted light grey textured headliner with some courtesy lighting in the back.

Drivetrain
Crammed in the very center of the car is the 5.0 Liter 12 cylinder V formation power plant that sports Bosch K-Jetronic EFI. A 5 speed manual transmission is on back with a 3.214 final drive.

Undercarriage
Showing slight age there is no rust to be seen, just stainless steel mufflers fed from headers, 4 wheel disc brakes, and road hugging independent coil over suspension.

Drive-AbilityAs this car recently came out of storage, a full going over is due before any attempt is made to start it.

Lots of WOW factor in this chiseled era 512i BB sports car. A collector with a mere 11K miles and in pristine condition ready to take it out and just growl at the competition.
